Treemonisha is unique
I already have the Houston Treemonisha on vinyl but after sixteen years it is likely to deteriorate so I bought the CD too. Treemonisha is not grand opera in the traditional sense; it is not a ragtime opera; it isn't this, that or the other thing. It is itself, ...

fun trumpets
"Masters of The Trumpet" is a simple and accurate title for this 2- disc collection. The recordings cover trumpet/cornet literature ranging from Gabrieli to Stravinsky. Especially enjoyable moments are Don Smithers playing Reiche's "Abblasen" & Armando Ghitalla's ...

Great for Preschool Children
I use this CD with my preschool music group. The kids love it! This CD enables children learn about classical music without over extending their attention spans.

Cleverness personified
A duet between an author and the character he created, each claiming "you're nothing without me," is just one example of how sharp, witty and clever show is, with an unusual score, jazzy and bluesy and very 1940s, and some of the best lyrics I know.

This cd is by far the most beautiful that I have ever heard! It just takes you away to another place and time, far from your worries, very relaxing. I highly reccomend this to anyone who loves beautiful music!

Excellent Symphonic Christmas Album
I was looking for arrangements of many traditional Christmas carols done by orchestras. This album hits the spot. It is not uniquely orchestra carols, the Canadian Brass is mixed in as welll. The highlight of the album for me is the back to back track of "Sleigh ...

The world?s first 'ambient' synthesizer record
Here's something to annoy your infant with. If you let your infant listen to this he's likely to think he's on another planet. Not that he knows what this planet is all about . Your job is to confuse him even more; make it hard for him to learn how to cope with ...

An Essential Volume of the History of the Future of Music
This is absolutely necessary for anyone who regards himself or herself as an authority on matters of electronic and avant-garde music. To call this music experimental discredits the genius of Scott. Experimental is "try this and see what happens". This music is purely ...

Good for all collections
Well, here is an English orchestra recording pieces that some American orchestra should have done long ago. This is music to have fun with and much to my delight was a piece that I have only heard on a 10 inch LP. That is Sym 5 1/2 by Don Gillis. This is one of the ...

Nothing Better Than A Pops Holiday
The Boston Pops have always made orchestral music more appealing to a wider audience, and Arthur Fiedler was the genius behind that success. Released in 1959, this album is full of everything from traditional selections from "The Nutcracker" to sing-along favorites ...

I saw this CD set in a store and told my friend I would like to have it for my birthday. She bought it on the spot for me. I am so glad she did. I really wasn't a classical music fan, but I am now. I listen to this CD set while I am driving home from my job as a ...

Beethoven for the first time
Listening to this recording is like discovering well-known music again. The only competetive version of the 7th symhony is Toscanini's old one with the New York Philharmonic (better than the later NBC version) - but the sound is mediocre. Karajan's 7th with the Vienna ...

Music that glows with color and life
"Kodachrome" arrived February 8 after a prolonged back-order, and I must say it was worth the wait - I haven't had this CD out of the player since! If you don't know Raymond Scott or the Beau Hunks/Metropole ensembles, this disc is a very good introduction to either - ...

I think this compilation is well worth the money. There is a lot of sophistication in this CD and it is definitely apparent.
